[Experimental] Monorepo for Flint: a fast, friendly linter. ❤️🔥
Flint is an experimental new linter. It's a proof-of-concept to explore the concepts in the following blog posts:
- Hybrid Linters: The Best of Both Worlds
- If I Wrote a Linter, Part 1: Architecture
- If I Wrote a Linter, Part 2: Developer Experience
- If I Wrote a Linter, Part 3: Ecosystem
- If I Wrote a Linter, Part 4: Summary
This project might go nowhere. It might show some of those ideas to be wrong. It might become a real linter. Only time will tell.
In the meantime, come talk about it on the Flint Discord.
👉 See flint.fyi for additional documentation.
Flint is an attempt at a "hybrid" linter: one that combines...
- Ergonomics: the ease of writing rules in JavaScript or TypeScript
- Performance: some of the speed of native linters by parsing and type checking with typescript-go
It also brings in several improvements over traditional linter paradigms:
- Streamlined configuration: flexible configuration files that still preserve readability
- Type-aware caching: significantly improving performance when linting changes to large repositories
- Unified core: promoting popular rules to the core project for easier, more reliable inclusion
Coming soon.
See .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, then .github/DEVELOPMENT.md.
